EN👇「當理念夠強大，就能營造凝聚力，創造一個社群」
YK一直以來都是臥虎藏龍的基地(真的不誇大也不客套)，這裡充滿了謙虛、有才華、善良、擁有豐富人生故事的人們，尤其語言課程，常遇到讓我們驚艷到讚嘆不已的學員們 (真的很榮幸我們能夠吸引這些人才來YK)
在這個對俄語環境有點艱難的的國際局勢中，昨天的聚會實屬難得，與外面的局勢相比下，聚會違和般的充滿了各種歡笑、和平和智慧
快閃講座，邀請了學員們分享他們寶貴的個人經驗：
◾這幾年在疫情和戰爭後所遇到的狀況
◾工作上遇到的困境
◾接待不同文化時所產生的交流
◾在德國、拉脫維亞學習俄語的經驗和當地使用俄語的狀況
聽講的同時會感受到所謂的「俄語圈」其實比想像的大很多很多很多，充滿了延展和多元的可能性
昨天看著參與的學員們，一瞬間有這種感覺 - 「當理念夠強大，就能營造凝聚力，創造一個社群」。一直以來，不論在語言課程或活動，我們都有很強大的中心理念「打破刻板印象，認識每一個獨特的文化」說了好多次，但還是要不厭其煩地再說，俄羅斯很大，除了刻板印象中的坦克普X跟戰X民族以外，還有很多元不同的面相，而學習俄語的人絕對可以是充滿愛、和平、包容性、愛好藝文、願意認識文化的，語言從來都只是一個中性的媒介
知道這並不容易，但期望有朝一日，我們可以不再以出生地和國籍來一概斷定一個人的好壞
謝謝昨天空下時間回來參加聚會的同學們，特別感謝用心準備快閃講座的四位學員！也謝謝那些在活動後總是給我們無限鼓勵的學員們！
期待下次相見
btw昨天更新到最震驚的消息：淡江和文化的俄文系要消失了(大 驚 訝😱)

"When an idea is powerful enough, it can foster unity and create a community."
YK has always been a hub of hidden talents; here, you'll find humble, talented, kind-hearted individuals with rich life stories. Especially in our language courses, we often encounter students who leave us amazed and full of admiration. We are truly honored that we can attract such talents to YK.
In the current challenging international landscape for the Russian language, yesterday's gathering was indeed a rare occasion. Compared to the external circumstances, the gathering was strangely filled with laughter, peace, and wisdom.
During the impromptu lecture series, we invited our students to share their precious personal experiences, including:
• Their experiences in recent years dealing with the challenges posed by the pandemic and conflicts.
• The difficulties they've encountered in their work.
• The meaningful exchanges that have occurred when interacting with different cultures.
• Their experiences of learning Russian in Germany and Latvia, as well as how they've used the Russian language locally.
Listening to their stories, you could sense that the so-called "Russian-speaking community" is much larger and more diverse than one might imagine, brimming with opportunities for expansion and diversity.
Looking at the students who participated yesterday, we had this feeling for a moment - "When an idea is powerful enough, it can foster unity and create a community." Throughout our language courses and activities, we've consistently held a powerful central idea: "Break stereotypes and get to know each unique culture." We may have said it many times, but it's worth repeating. Russia is vast, and beyond the stereotypical images of tanks and stern-faced individuals, there are many different facets. People who learn Russian can be filled with love, peace, a passion for the arts, a willingness to embrace different cultures, and a spirit of inclusivity. Language has always been a neutral medium.
We understand that embracing this idea is not easy, but we hope that one day, we can move beyond judging people solely based on their place of birth and nationality.
Thanks to all the classmates who took the time to come back and attend the gathering yesterday. A special thanks to the 4 students who prepared the impromptu lecture with dedication. Also, gratitude to those students who always provide us with endless encouragement after the event! Looking forward to seeing you all again next time!
By the way, the most shocking news from yesterday: The Russian department at Tamkang University is going to disappear, which is truly surprising and sad.
